Five experienced panelists analyzed

Five experienced panelists analyzed fish at days 1, 3,
5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, according to EU fish sensory schema
for bluefish (EC Regulation 1996). In this EC grading
scheme, excellent quality (perfect condition), high
quality (slight loss of excellent characteristics), good
quality (some deterioration, but fit for sale) and unfit
for sale were assigned as E (better extra), A (good
quality), B (moderate quality) and C (unfit) grades,
respectively. The total grades of each group were
estimated from the grades attributed by each panelist
and the final grade of each fish group was
estimated from the fish samples examined at each
day of evaluation.
